How do you ask for what you can't want? For some of us, the joy of CNC is in going past what you enjoy. This workshop will explore how to negotiate scenes with limits that can go beyond a "red".

We will focus on the self-knowledge and communication skills needed to figure out the real risks of this play, learn to identify the difference between "something I don't want to do (but can get something out of)" and "something that will harm me if I do it", and learn how to handle it when we get that balance wrong. We will discuss risk awareness, risk mitigation, negotiation and aftercare specific to no safewords play. For those with a good foundation in consent, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills and some existing familiarity with CNC play that uses safewords.
